Many people expect that a water resistant wristwatch can be used for swimming or diving. You must know that there are timepieces of various resistance to water: while some watches can withstand deep contact with water, other watches break down after short time after being in water. Very few waterproof timepieces can be used in water, all other timepieces withstand just a splash of water.
Before purchasing a water-resistant wristwatch you should find out what the markings on the wristwatch mean. A timepiece with marking “waterproof 3 ATM (30 m)” is not good for swimming or diving. There are watches with higher resistance to water – to 50m, you should remove such a watch if you want to dive, but such a timepiece will withstand swimming. Only timepieces that have water-resistance of 10ATM (100 m) and more are used for both swimming and diving.
Unfortunately fake timepieces that enjoy so enormous popularity, are not highly water-resistant. If you are going to purchase a wristwatch for diving, you ought to buy a genuine watch, for instance a Rolex wristwatch, but not a Rolex imitationwatch. A fake Rolex watch is only a duplicate of a real Rolex timepiece, but it doesn’t have all the functions of the authentic wristwatches. You ought to be aware that you will not be able to turn your timepiece back for refund, if the timepiece was damaged by water, no matter if it is an authentic timepiece or if it is from a catalogue of fake watches.
